--- Comment #2 from sworddragon2 at aol dot com --- > That sounds a bit too complex. For example, how many non-printable characters > should be displayed ? All whitespaces from the first printable character until the next printable character but only if there is no binary character in the way (a character that strings would not show). The idea is that this option would normally show all whitespaces within text files/occurences but no whitespaces within "binary garbage". This would show whitespaces there they are likely to be wanted and suppress whitespaces there they are normally not useful. > The strings command has been recently enhanced however so that it will > now display all whitespace characters, including new-lines, if the > --include-all-whitespace option is used. Perhaps this will help you ? This sounds useful too and I will test it if this version is available on my distribution. But what do you think of my idea? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
